agrees that the installation of the goods may commence before the expiry of the period referred to in
clause 2.18 and the customer acknowledges that if the installation of the goods does begin before the
end of the period referred to in clause 2.18, then the customer wilt lose the right to cancel referred to
in clause 2.18.

fall out within three months of delivery or installation. the goods shall not be deemed to be defective if
when delivered or installed there are creases within the goods.
5.14 The company endeavours to reduce the visibility of seams in the goods. however, seams are
occasionally visible due to the molecular structure of the material and seam visibility shall not be
deemed to constitute a defect in the goods.

the extent of its usage and the amount of traffic passing over it and this shall not be deemed to
amount to a defect in the goods.
5.16 Artificial grass from different batches of manufacture may differ slightly in colour. the company
will in respect of any one order supply artificial grass from the same batch. however, artificial grass

supplied under different orders is unlikely to be from the same batch and therefore may differ in
colour. any such colour variation shall not be deemed to constitute a defect in the goods.

customer, the parties may disclose to each other certain confidential information. the customer and

until payment in full is made (a part of a month being treated as a full month for the purpose of

beyond the reasonable control of the company including acts of god, governmental actions, war or
national emergency, acts of terrorism, protests, riot, civil commotion, fire, explosion, flood, epidemic,
lock-outs, strikes or other labour disputes (whether or not relating to either party’s workforce), or

restraints or delays affecting carriers, or any inability or delay in obtaining supplies of adequate or
suitable materials, or the failure or demise of any source of supply.
9.0 Warranty:
9.1 The company warrants (subject to the other provisions of these conditions) that:
(a) On delivery, the goods shall be of satisfactory quality within the meaning of the sale of goods act
1979; and
(b) If the customer has made it expressly known to the company in the customer’s order that the
goods shall be suitable for a particular purpose and the company has expressly stated in its written
acceptance of order issued pursuant to clause 2.3 that it will supply goods suitable for that purpose,
then the goods shall be reasonably fit for the purpose so stated; and
(c) The services will be performed with reasonable skill and care.
9.2 The Easigrass warranty is a manufacturer’s warranty on all of our artificial grass products and a
genuine one that gives all of our customers the peace of mind that the grass will last for a minimum of
8 years. please remember the Easigrass golden rule-artificial grass is low maintenance not no
maintenance. we recommend all customers subscribe to our annual maintenance package which will
refresh and maintain performance of the surface every year. (if it has moss or algae it may become
slippery so it is best to have this removed. annual shedding of leaves and airborne spores can be
easily removed.)
The warranty does not include settlement or subsequent undulation of any base work due to a host of
reasons, i.e. dead roots, tubers, japanese knot weed, live tree roots, bamboo, wild animal burrows,
neighbour’s building work, surrounding excavations, general settlement of new build sites, or flood
plain water. if this occurs after the installation easigrass can assist with a recalibration of the base but
this will be at a small cost subject to the garden size.
Customers should recognise that all artificial grass will crush or flatten over time and this includes
products with yarn technology. real grass of course wears out and disappears.
Bi Fold Doors
Along with other reflective items such as structures and mirrors that can damage your grass through
reflection you have to be aware that if you have Bi Fold Doors that are facing the direct sun light when
half opened they too can create a prism and damage/singe your grass.

The solution will be to either ensure you fully open or close your doors or alternatively used a different
flooring medium in front of the bi fold doors that may match another material used within your garden
scheme that can withstand very high temperatures. Bi fold door manufacturers are not informing
customers that this can happen with their doors .
Unfortunately, any damage caused as a result of this prism burning effect is not covered under our
product warranty. The temperatures that can be created as a result of a prism can ben well over 200
Degrees
9.3 Subject to clause 93, the company shall not be liable for a breach of any of the warranties in
clause 9.1 unless the customer gives written notice to the company of the defect in the goods or the
deficiency in the services within 7 days of the time when the customer discovers or ought to have
discovered the defect or deficiency (within 48 hours, if any alleged defect in the goods is a result of
damage in transit). the company is to be given a reasonable opportunity after receiving the notice, of
examining any goods which the customer has alleged to be defective. subject to clause 9.4, where
the company determines that a defect exists in the goods or that a deficiency exists in relation to the
services, the company’s liability pursuant to clause 9,1 shall be limited for goods, to the replacement
or repair of any part of the goods found to be defective and for services, to re-performing those
services found not to have been performed with reasonable skill and care, or, at the company’s
option, to refunding the price of the goods or services at the pro-rata contract rate,
9.4 Upon substantial completion of the installation works, the company will give the customer notice of
its intention to hand over the installation works and will give the customer the opportunity to inspect
the installation works prior to handover. the company will confirm the date of handover to the
customer. the sole responsibility of the company will be to remedy defects for which it is responsible
and which are notified to it prior to handover.
The company shall not be liable for any breach of any warranty in clause 9.1, if:
(a) The customer makes any further use of any goods which the customer has alleged to be defective
after giving notice of any such defect;
(b) The customer modifies, adjusts, alters or repairs the goods without the prior written consent of the
company;
(c) The defect arises because the customer failed to follow any oral or written instructions as to the
storage, installation, use or maintenance of the goods or (if there are none) good trade practice;

(d) The defect arises from any input material or specification supplied by the customer, or from fair
wear and tear, wilful damage, negligence, abnormal working conditions, misuse of the goods or from
any other cause which is not due to the neglect or default of the company;
(e) The defect relates to work external to the goods, or arises through relocation of the goods not
performed by, for or on behalf of the company, or by subjecting the goods to any unusual physical or
other stress or adverse environmental conditions;
(f) The full price for the supplies has not been paid by the time for payment stipulated in clause 7.1 or
7.3; or
(g) The defect is of a type specifically excluded by the company by notice in writing.
9.6 If upon investigation, the company reasonably determines that any defect or deficiency in, or
malfunction or shortage or failure to correspond to specification of the supplies is a result of, or is
excused by, any of the matters referred to in clause 9.4, the customer shall be liable for all costs
reasonably incurred by the company in investigating the same and determining the cause.
9.7 Subject to and without limiting the generality of any of the provisions of this clause 9, in addition to
the warranties granted in clause 9.1, the company warrants that, that under normal conditions, the
goods will sustain their uv stability and tensile strength during the warranty period described in clause
9.7. for the purposes of this warranty, any goods whose original tensile strength does not decrease by
more than 50% shall be deemed to have sustained their uv stability and tensile strength.
9.8 All goods are covered by an 8 year warranty (the ‘8 year warranty’). the applicable warranty period
(the `warranty period’) begins on the earlier of:
(a) The date of installation of the goods; or
